    Yet another product I've gotta scour Yahoo! Japan Auctions for now...

    I'm not a fan of Takeya's "City Hunter" redesign. It takes too many liberties with the original Predator 2 costume, making the armor look more like an H.R. Giger illustration. If you're going to design a new Predator, I'm all for it -- sequels, comics, and action figures have been doing it for decades -- but there's no reason to mess with pre-established designs. I think a Figma Predator should be more accurate to the source material, like Takeya's Alien: Why couldn't his Predator be as accurate as his xenomorph?

    Like MS Igloo, but with actual scope and ambition. Spectacular!

    You guys are tempting me to pick up a couple of extra Riobots, while they're still available at reasonable prices. It would be great to customize with vintage Imai model kit parts for a more accurate anime-style look, or make a modern Borough Superior (provided Sentinel doesn't release their own)... or even just repaint them in a Dark Mospeada color scheme. Oh, and speaking of which: I've finally added a CM's "Type 31" Dark Mospeada to my collection of 1:18th ride armors. Say what you will about the fiddly, fragile little CM's; they released more Mospeada characters and mecha variants than any other company did back in the day, or likely ever will in the future... and they came fully-equipped with saddlebags and sidearms.

    Yeah, even my Revoltech Spidey is more metallic!

    Well, there must be a reason for it, 'cause Hot Toys are doing it, too...!

    Love the Battlestars!

    Different outfits for Stig and Ray? That offers some intriguing possibilities...

    About what you'd expect -- more purple, more green, more jets. ACE-01 "Tumbler" would make a fine Masterpiece Cliffjumper, if only he had a decent face sculpt... but alas, that ship has sailed. Maybe XTB's "Toro" will fare better...

    That would seem to be the majority consensus: "Gabriel" provides a better robot mode, and "Terminus Gigantus" provides a better alt. mode. I'm in no hurry to transform my MP Omega Supreme -- it's hard enough to make space for in robot mode! -- so "Gabriel" completely satisfies me.

    I do love me some Gabriel!

    He really doesn't. No shield, no gauntlets... just some Wakandan spear...? Good eye, Noel. I head-swapped him with a Hasbro figure with decent fists, 'cause Bandai's has dainty wrists and tiny, tiny fists... and if he doesn't have a shield to wield, I don't even know how to pose him. He's just gonna hide in shame at the back of the display anyway. Actually, I didn't bother with either of Bandai's "Homecoming" offerings. Between Hasbro and Revoltech, there are too many similar-looking Spider-Men already on my shelves.

    New additions to Bandai's Infinity War line-up... ...except for Black Panther, that is.

    I would take anything that site posted with a Gundam-sized grain of salt... There are factual errors, spelling mistakes, vague and uncredited sources, and they don't even identify the author!

    Whoah, the missiles have to be purchased separately? Sure, we know there's a precedent for it -- the Hasegawa 1:48 weapon set, for example -- but I would've hoped at least some missiles were included in the main kit...

    Christ, that is adorable! Thanks for the heads-up.

    Shh! We don't talk about Robotech here. Use "Mospeada" instead. Viva Mospeada! See, it rhymes.

    Actually, he was a prominent Predacon from Car Robots (2000), later dubbed into English under the oft-used title Robots in Disguise...

    But that's Roy, not Hikaru. Hikaru never wore a yellow helmet in the film, nor did his Valkyrie have yellow stripes... I think we'll need to correct the thread title, too.

    No, they'll be shipping the second run of Stig in September, and the second run of Ray in October.

    A droid rebellion, eh? Droid Rebels? The Droid Wars? Sounds familiar.
